■Cleaning the cassette player
Cassette player components (heads, capstan, pinch rollers) should be cleaned at
least once a month using a cleaning tape to remove dirt and dust that can easily
build up.
■Using long playing cassette tapes
Avoid using tapes with a length of more than 90 minutes, as the tape used is very
thin and may become tangled in the cassette player.
NOTICE
■Cassette tapes that cannot be used
Do not use a cassette tape if it has been damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling
off. Such tapes may affect playing speed and may also get stuck in the player.
■Cassette player precautions
●Store cassette tapes away from direct sunlight.
●Do not insert anything other than cassette tapes into the cassette player.
●Do not apply oil to the cassette player.

●It may not be possible to play discs recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the environment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropriate application manufacturers of the
applications.)
●CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage conditions. The unit may be unable to play dam-
aged discs.
●If you insert a CD-RW disc into the MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
●Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.
CAUTION
■DVD video precaution
Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to emphasize
the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming that the conversa-
tions represent the maximum volume level that the DVD will play, you may be star-
tled by louder sound effects or when you change to a different audio source.
Loud sounds may have a significant impact on the human body or pose a driving
hazard. Keep this in mind when you adjust the volume.
